Dear Miss Sharma,
I refer to your request of 11 September 2020. The University has provided
all the information requested that can be provided without substantial
collation or research in the attached spreadsheet. It would take excessive
staff time to provide the information requested in Parts 5-9 and 12-13 of
your request, and the 2015-2018 data for part 10 of your request.
Accordingly the University has refused these parts of your request under
section 18(f) of the Official Information Act. Neither extending the
deadline for your request nor imposing a charge would allow the University
to provide this information. You have the right to make a complaint to an
Ombudsman if you are dissatisfied with this response.
Yours sincerely,
Rebecca Ewert
University of Auckland
